Thread: Remembering a Lucid Dream Like Yesterday?

Oh yes it's definitely possible. I have had alot of lucid dreams which i can vividly replay in my mind.

Though i have had alot of lucid dreams which i have forgot alot of the details, alot of it depends on your dream recall.

Mine is crap but i recall my lucids pretty well as long as i write them down as soon as i wake up.

but im talking just like yesterday, you know what I mean. Lets say you were thrown in jail yesterday and got out today in a lucid dream, could you remember it just as good as if it happened in real life? Like all your thoughts in the dream etc...

Yes thats what i was talking about, you can remember everything just like real life, emotions, thoughts, sensations etc.

awesome, anyone else have lds like this?

I do, and I hate them. Occasionally they seem so real (as in boring everyday life kinda thing) that I forget I was lucid and I actually do think it WAS yesterday. (This happens with my regular dreams too) I end up going to sleep on Tuesday, having a dream about Wednesday and waking up thinking that it's Thursday. I sometimes talk to my mom about the library trip we took 'last week' and I found out that it never happened. These kinds of dreams usually happen when I am anxious about something.

Yeah, those are always so confusing in the morning. But then you have a choice: Try to recall it properly and be confused the rest of the day or let go of a dream you could have potentially recalled and recorded very well.

arby, im talking about something that you do not forget. Something you dont have to jot down in your jounnal or its gone, something just like yesterday.
